The WPS are not releasing information related to the identity of the victim at this time.

An autopsy is pending and the investigation is continuing by the Homicide Unit.

INSIDER COMMENTARY:

A second degree murder charges alleges the murder was an intentional killing that was not premeditated, planned or deliberate. Second degree murder charges are also laid when evidence suggests the intentional application of force was “reckless” and showed a wanton disregard for human life.

Issues relating to Campbell’s mental health are matters that will be explored at trial or in consultations with the Crown & Defense.
